Anyone around?

[DueyCheatemAndHow]

My anxiety is really bad tonight, just thought I'd see if anyone is around.

I'm around! How are you feeling? Did anything in particular trigger your anxiety tonight?

Hey! Thanks. I came off citalopram for a month but been back on for nearly a week.

Stupidly i think it was triggered by some messages a friend has sent me.

Hi, I know it's easier said than done but try not to over analyse your friends msgs. Can you do anything to distract yourself from the anxiety.

Hope you are okay...watching something funny usually helps me when I am feeling anxious x

If I'm feeling anxious I try and take a few deep breaths and reason with myself. Everything is fine and you're safe and well. Will those messages matter in the morning? Probably not!

Tried funny, it worked for a bit. Trying to sleep but no luck yet

I'm about, just scrolling on here. Tired but not tired if that makes sense. I suffer with anxiety so I know how terribly difficult it can be. Like PP said, take some deep breaths and focus on your breathing. Why don't you make a hot drink and put on some Netflix to try and distract your mind?

I'm awake. My cat and not my cat (he visits constantly) are cuddled up for the first time and I'm too awake going "awww" to sleep!
